THE TELEGRAPH View attachment 32774
A newspaper full of lazy sports journalists
making up stories as they go along with an editor that
doesn't even notice the basic errors.
Verdict: Not fit to wipe bottoms.
Not alone in being lazy, no proof readers employed these days I suspect.

The Football Pink many years ago when reporting on one of out matches had this belter, “Lee rounded the defender and shat into the corner of the net”.
 
Sorry for bringing up ancient history but I have just come across this snippet of media bias after Summerbee’s famous rant on Sky:

“Bizarrely he claimed that the away side had dominated for 60% of the game, then when shown the actal possession statistics of 54%-46% he laughably backtracked and said, “I’m not into stats”.”

If you check that actual stats: https://www.premierleague.com/match/7346
It was 50.3% city to 49.7% utd.

Talk about blatant lies presented as facts by a biased media! I have been trying to find footage of the full rant online but I can only find bits, but if memory serves me correctly Sky interjected his speech with a full screen display of the “true” procession stats. Add to that many examples of journalists running with those fake numbers in their condemnation of the respected former city star I rest my case!

Where was that written?

Christ the bellyaching and chucking the towel in is a sight to behold. Chelsea (the current champions of Europe) and Liverpool (who have managed to go past 90 points in two seasons recently, they are decent sides not Burnley and Newcastle.

Does anyone remember these articles when the rags and Liverpool were cleaning up? It’s these very two teams who voted in the creation of the premier league and the closed shop it created.

And here we have the massive bellend fantasist Nick Harris mistaking an old video, posted after City won last season’s title, for a new Christmas celebration post.
Bizarrely links it to non-sequitirs about Qatar World Cup.
Also pretty much accuses Pep of having an affair with repeated and snide references to a ‘mystery blonde’….

It was City’s head of PR Vicky Kloss.

What a bitter, unprofessional fuckwit, just shows how little he knows about anything

I'm with Buzzer and I still don't even believe those prem stats, we had loads of the ball that day, way more than 50% but Sky fucked him over and that **** Yorke sneering at him was disgraceful, still, Mike had the last smirk a year later and he fucking loved it.
 
Re Kav not seeing anything, immediately before the corner that led to the first penalty, he warned a defender about holding so he was seeing them, just not giving them.
It amuses, bewilders and annoys me all at the same time when refs go over to players ostensibly to inform them of the LotG. Why? A footballer takes to the field of play either knowing the laws as well as a ref or in blissful ignorance of them. Either way he must face the consequences of infringing them. The ref should not be giving lessons or instructions mid-match as to what is contained within them.

Should have yellow carded the tosser who wouldn’t retreat ten yards when we were taking corner kicks.

Quite why Lookman didn’t get a yellow the fourth or fifth time he refused to retreat 10 yards at a corner is beyond me. Basically laughing in the ref’s face.
Not that it did them much good…

I'm not certain whether it was the player of Kavanagh who thought it was an imaginary straight line drawn from each notch, and not an arc! I said much the same thing when a Leicester player stood about three yards away from one of our kicks in the second half. I'd have kicked it towards him and then suggested to Kavanagh that a card was appropriate.

It is just really strange for a so-called journalist to tweet hate-filled comments about Pep based on an old video without checking the facts and to do this on Christmas Eve.

Football should operate like Rugby.NO fucker bar the captains should speak to a ref and any focker (even some of our lads do it) putting his hand up to indicate a booking should be booked for ungentlemanly/unsporting conduct.
Too many refs are weak.

He is a raving lunatic. Went on a podcast and accused City fans of putting his windows in, with zero evidence and despite the fact he lives somewhere in the remote wilds of Scotland
